How Loud a Tundra TRD Pro with TRD Exhaust Actually Is

About a week ago, I was fortunate to spend some time with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The TRD Pro trim level was released to the Tundra back in 2015. Originally spec’d with some Bilstein shocks, TRD Pro’s like this Tundra now get some off road ready FOX shocks, a TRD skid plate, Rigid Industries fog lights, and a TRD dual exhaust. Much of the standard Toyota Tundra remains such as its 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque V8 engine which gets to breath through that TRD exhaust.

I could go on and on about how great a TRD Pro trimmed Tundra is, but with so many reviews out there I thought why not scrap that and give you some information you probably haven’t read before - how loud it is. As the video above shows you, I grabbed my trusty decibel meter and found out.

I set up the decibel meter to read the maximum db and put it on the ground about a foot away from the exhaust at about a 45 degree angle. This is basically how an officer of the law would read your exhaust. In my case, I was going for three different audible levels: start up/idle, revving and holding it at 3500 rpm, and redline which is 6000 rpm on the Tundra.

Check out the video to get the numbers.

I get feeling that way, but if it’s good enough, you won’t have to

I feel you, but normally my “meh” content oddly makes the sidebar, where as the good stuff gets hidden and ends up on Page 3 in 15 minutes with a meme wall.

The analytics for the sidebar are a complete mystery, but embigning every post to drive up youtube posts isn’t the answer.

I don’t do most of them. I would say about 50%. I am not going to assume how long you have been around the block around here (aka a member of Oppo), but years ago there was lots of OG car content, now a days you have to spend most of the time fighting memes than fighting fellow car content creators.

I was here years ago, when Kinja first became a thing, and here’s the thing, Oppo has never been a car content blog, it’s always been an offtopic blog/forum/internet community.

Agree to disagree. There was a time that many Oppo posts were sniped to the front page of Jalopnik, that is mostly the time I am referring to.

That time ended a couple years ago due to abject plagiarism . If you want shit to get to Jalopnik, you’ll have to submit them to Jalopnik using their email or carrier pigeon.

oh nah that i s not why I said that, just was showing that the content was more on the side of car content verus meme-city

But it still wasn’t. Oppositelock was always and always will be an offtopic system. It will totally have an automotive tilt, as we are all share a common interest, but still offtopic. Ask any of the other mods here and you’ll get the same feedback.

Completely respect your opinion and insight enough to not need to go hunting down mods.

Side note - due to the way Oppo/Kinja work, I have no idea who any of them are anyway.
